hi i also cant leave my house due to anxiety panic attacks i have a 7 year old and a 1 year old my brother takes and picks my 7 year old up from school it really is horrible and im glad im not the only one
Have you tried seeing a therapist? Some will hold sessions via phone and skype etc. if you are unable to come to their office. I find therapy helps me with my anxiety a lot.
Its a horrible horrible thing…I will not go out alone. and even with someone, I am swaying, like I am drunk..its so embarrassing, my Hubby has to do the shopping, and hang clothes on the line..I had this nearly mastered a few years ago, by taking baby steps…walking out to our front gate..then going a little further, then going around the block. kept doing this, until I felt comfortable doing it…I ended up walking up the town, and home…I felt like I was let out of prison…Then, one night coming home, I took a panic attack,and could not move..I was half way home, so I forced myself on…needless to say, it set me back big time…after all my hard work, I was housebound again…My DR told me later, I dealt with it all wrong, setbacks are common, and I should have kept walking out..he said, it was like falling off a bicycle, you just get up,and get back on it…its the only way to get over it though…I might try it all again soon…xx
